Apologies if this has been asked somewhere before, but how do you all store your boxes and accessories? After going from 0-31 figures since June the boxes are getting out of control, and very frustrating opening them each time for different parts!
Any solutions?

I put my accessories in the boxes they came in, and I put those boxes in the closet.
Some people use those little plastic containers and stuff to store accessories.

Personally, I do the same thing VR does. I just keep the original packaging (clamshell and all), then put the figures' stuff in there (apart from some figures, such as Figure-rise, where they don't have enough to warrant putting it in the original packaging or my NECA TF2 stuff I just do the same, though I'd still advise keeping the packaging), but for figures that you buy loose with a lot of stuff, just stick their accessories in a Ziploc bag. Did it with Freeza and I still have all of his stuff intact.

I keep all my boxes lined up in my closet shelves
I would never dare think about tossing them because it makes them easier to move when I need to
Also makes them more valuable to sell should I decide to move on from something
Plus, the boxes hold all my accessories, hands and faces I ain’t using

If you don't care about accessing them, I'd just keep the accessories in the original boxes and put those into sterlite tubs. Otherwise, I'd suggest storing the boxes and putting the accessories into those clear "tackle box" containers with all the little compartments. Just get the ones with the removable walls so you can change the compartment size for things like tails. I highly recommend a labeler to go with this!

Am I the only one who keeps his SH Figuarts NIB? I like how they look like in their packaging, especially the 2.0 figures.

Bah, that's boring! What's the point in even having them at that point?  |

As someone who hangs around in action figure communities, I find NIB collectors to be pretty rare nowadays.

The problem I’ve got is I collect the figures with my 13 and 10 year old sons, I gave them a Detolf each that used to house my Hot Toys and the youngest one especially just can’t stop changing the figures round so is always opening/closing the boxes, drives me mad!!
I did order a couple of tackle boxes from Amazon that came from China, ordered the wrong size, turned up about the size of the large iPhones!! They hold most of my Marvel/Star Wars accessories but not big enough for the DB heads.
I could never be a NIB collector, funny enough every time I get a new figure delivered I always struggle to open it at first, because they do look so good in the box, anyone else have this problem? Could take me a couple of hours just admiring it but eventually I have to get that figure out and enjoy it!!

I throw my boxes out about 10 seconds after I open them. I keep all my extra bits in zip-lock bags (I write on the bags so it's a bit easier to tell whose hands are whose) and keep them all in a single big box - saves on space.

Bah, that's boring! What's the point in even having them at that point? Well tbh I only display the plethora of Dragon Ball statues I like to collect. I like to keep my Funko Pops and SH Figuarts NIB, put them in a protective case and potentially get them signed. My Majin Vegeta Funko Pop signed by Christopher Sabat is honestly one of my favorites. I do plan on displaying them (in their boxes! lol) when I get a bigger place. I guess at this point they're more like collectibles for me than display pieces, and I'm totally okay with that. |
